Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Fu Corporation released a piece of explosive news——

“Fu Lingye, CEO of the Fu Corporation, will be engaged to the daughter of the Yao family from Sea City

at the Banyan Tree Hotel at 5 pm this evening.”

Sweetheart, who was sitting in the children's chair having breakfast, heard the news, frowned, and

asked Fu Zhengyuan beside her.

“Grandpa, daddy is already married to Mu'mu. Why would he be engaged to another woman?”

Upon seeing the news, Fu Zhengyuan was stunned too. Lingye made a decision without discussing it

with him first. Does it mean that he will divorce Mu Tongrui?

However, Fu Zhengyuan did not dare to tell Sweetheart about this, for fear that she would be sad. After

all, she liked Mu Tongrui so much.

Stroking her hair gently, Fu Zhengyuan said, “Sweetheart, let's eat first. Grandpa will go and ask.”

Sweetheart nodded and said, “Grandpa, you must ask clearly. I don't want daddy to be separated from

Mu'mu, I just want Mu'mu to be my mummy!”

“Alright. Aunt Lan, please take good care of Sweetheart. I need to settle some things.”

“Yes, sir.”

Fu Zhengyuan went to the study and called Fu Lingye.

“Ling Ye, what's with the news this morning? Have you divorced Mu Tongrui?”

“Dad, due to my accident, Fu Corporation's vitality was greatly affected. Now that the corporation's

facing a crisis, marrying Yao Zhiyue will achieve support from the Yao family, which will in turn help us

to recover quickly. We will be stronger than before.”

Fu Zhengyuan had a look of puzzlement on his face. He sighed, “Have you ever thought about the

child in Mu Tongrui's womb?”

“If Dad wants that child, we can rid of the mother and keep the child.”

“Lingye...you have changed.”

Fu Zhengyuan held his walking cane and was unhappy that Fu Lingye had become so cold-blooded.

Fu Xiao chuckled softly on the other line, “Dad, I am doing this for the Fu Corporation, how can you say

that to me?”

“Do you like the daughter of Yao family?”

“It doesn't matter if I like her or not. What is important is the union between the Fu family and the Yao

family, which will not only appease our shareholders but also give us a competitive edge over our

rivals. What is wrong with this?”

“Ling Ye, I don't want you to use your marriage and happiness as a bargaining chip.”

“Dad, I have already made the decision. Now that the news has been released, there is no turning

back.”

At the Repulse Bay Villa.

Upon seeing the news, Mu Tongrui's face turned pale.

Fu Xiao is getting engaged to Yao Zhiyue?

As soon as she was aggravated, her abdomen began to ache.

“Ah...”

She could not just let it be, she must stop Fu Xiao and Yao Zhiyue from getting engaged!

However, when she tried to stand, the pain in her womb had exacerbated.

All of a sudden, the sound of car engines came from outside the Repulse Bay Villa, and several

bodyguards in black rushed in.

“What do you want?”

The leader said, “We are carrying Mr. Fu's orders; in order for today's engagement to proceed

smoothly, you must stay in this villa!”

Several bodyguards grabbed Mu Tongrui's arms forcefully and tied her up with a rope. Several tall and

sturdy men stared at her firmly.

“Let me go! Let me go!”

“If I were you, I would not waste my energy!”

Due to the struggle and the resistance, the pain in Mu Tongrui's abdomen had intensified. Her face

paled and she broke out in a cold sweat; she moaned, “My stomach hurts...let me go...”

Several bodyguards thought she was faking it, and sneered, “Don't pretend, we won't believe you!

Today, don't you think of leaving this villa!”

One of the bodyguards even confiscated her mobile phone and turned it off.

Mu Tongrui felt a twisting pain in her lower abdomen. Her face was crumpled into a grimace, groaning

she pleaded, “Please... let me go... my stomach really hurts... If something happens to the child... Fu

Xiao will definitely not forgive you...”

The bodyguards looked at each other.

“Although Mr. Fu is to be engaged to Ms. Yao, this lady is carrying his child after all. If something

happens to the child, will Mr. Fu come for us?”

One of the bodyguards whispered, “Boss, I think we should call Ms. Yao to ask, in case something

happens... It's a life and death situation, we can't bear such a big responsibility.”

“Alright, you guys watch after her. I will make the call.”

The leader called Yao Zhiyue and asked, “Ms. Yao, Mu Tongrui suddenly had stomach pains. I don’t

think she is faking it. After all, she is pregnant with Mr. Fu’s child. If he knows about this will he be

unhappy? Do you want us to take her to the hospital?”

Yao Zhiyue at the end of the line said coldly, “No one can stop me from getting engaged to Fu Xiao

today. The child in her womb happens to be a burden. If something goes wrong, I will be ridding Fu

Xiao of a problem anyway.”

“Yes, Ms. Yao.”

“By the way, take Mu Tongrui to another place. I'm afraid that Master Jiang will visit her. I will send you

the address.”

“Alright.”

Mu Tongrui was forcibly dragged into a black van, with her hands and feet tightly bound.

“Where are you taking me! Let go of me!”

“If you talk any more nonsense, we will gag your mouth!”

Mu Tongrui bit her lip, glaring, “If something happens to me, Fu Lingye will definitely come for you!”

“Mr. Fu has long stopped caring about you. If Mr. Fu really cares, will he let us watch over you?”

Mu Tongrui frowned, “What did you say? Fu Lingye ordered you to kidnap me?”

“Mr. Fu is afraid that you will ruin his engagement with Ms. Yao, so he wanted us to watch you as a

preventive measure!”

That's right...This is Fu Xiao...she had seen his unscrupulous means.

In no time, Mu Tongrui was blindfolded with a piece of black cloth. She was sent into a room that

seemed to be surrounded by the sea. She could hear the loud howling of the wind and the crashing of

the waves. She could also smell the saltiness of the sea breeze.

“Where exactly is this place?”

“Stay here obediently, otherwise don't blame us for not holding back!”

“My stomach hurts, you must find a doctor for me!”

Ignoring her, the person said indifferently, “Mr. Fu said that the child in your womb is a troublemaker, it

is better if it is gone!”

Mu Tongrui's heart twitched fiercely and she clenched her fists tightly.

She collapsed onto the wet and cold floor and was surrounded by darkness. She felt throbbing pains in

her lower abdomen and was shivering uncontrollably.

Tears rolled down from her eyes, wetting the black cloth which was keeping her blindfolded.

Lingye...Where are you...I am in pain...Lingye!

Five o'clock in the evening at the Banyan Tree Hotel.

After Yao Zhiyue changed into her ceremonial robe and put on her makeup, she entered the

presidential suite.

She was greeted by Fu Xiao who stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His right hand was

clenching his chest tightly, with his face in a grimace.

In his ear, all he could hear was Mu Tongrui's pitiful cries for help.

“Lingye...Lingye...My stomach hurts...Lingye... Come and save me...!”

Yao Zhiyue approached him in her stilettos and quickly steadied him, “Fu Xiao, what's wrong with you?”

Fu Xiao gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, “Fu Lingye seems to be taking over me.”

“What did you say?”

Fu Xiao grabbed Yao Zhiyue's shoulders, and glared, “Did you do something to Mu Tongrui?”

Yao Zhiyue was taken aback by Fu Xiao's sudden actions., “I... I just instructed my men to watch her,

so as to prevent her from causing a scene at our engagement party! I didn't do anything to her!”

Yao Zhiyue's cell phone rang suddenly, but Fu Xiao grabbed it at once and answered it.

On the other line, he could hear a frantic voice. “Ms. Yao, it's bad, Mu Tongrui ran away! There was

blood between her legs... When I sent someone to look for a doctor, she... she...”

Fu Xiao slammed her phone onto the ground.

“What did you do to Mu Tongrui?”

Fu Xiao wrapped his big hands around Yao Zhiyue's neck tightly, strangling her!

“Fu Xiao! Calm down! That child... Cough cough... He doesn't even belong to you!”

“Ah...!”

Hugging his head with his hands, Fu Xiao felt as though his head was going to explode!

He could feel that his consciousness was gradually dissipating, and Fu Lingye seemed to be breaking

through the imprisonment...

Fu Xiao became weak and his vision turned black. He collapsed onto the ground.

“Fu Xiao! Fu Xiao!”

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After what seemed like an eternity, the man's eyes opened gradually...

Fu Lingye only felt a splitting headache...

Rui... Rui was calling for him!

When Yao Zhiyue went to help him up, she was pushed away by him. “Rui, where are you!”

Yao Zhiyue was pushed to the ground. Sitting on the carpet, she looked at the man in front of her, her

face pale, “You...you...you are Fu Lingye?!”

Even though she knew that Fu Lingye was suffering from a multiple personality disorder, she did not

expect him to change into another person in an instant!

Under the vast expanse of the night skies, Mu Tongrui hugged her lower abdomen and moved forward

with difficulty. When she vaguely heard the footsteps of those people searching for her, she quivered

and quickly hid in a nearby bush.

She covered her mouth, enduring the pain and the fear in her heart, and watched the group split up in

search of her.

“Hu, bring your men over there to search! We must find Mu Tongrui! We must not let her go to the

engagement banquet to cause a scene!”

Resisting the pain, Mu Tongrui stood up after those people left.

It is too dangerous to stay here; she must leave this place!

But she is surrounded by sea! How can she escape?

Tears fell down her cheeks helplessly.

Covering her abdomen with her hands, she murmured in a low voice, “My child... You must hold on...

Mummy will take you to the hospital soon... Don't be afraid...”

Mu Tongrui dragged her heavy body and ran for what seemed like an eternity. Her legs seemed to

become heavier with every step she take, as if they were filled with lead...

I'm so tired... I could not run anymore...

“Boss! Mu Tongrui is over there!”

“Quick, run after her!”

Sensing that she was being pursued, Mu Tongrui continued running with fear. When she ran to the

fringe of the fishing island, she was met with the vast and deep sea.

“Don't come close! You cannot kill my child!”

“Stop struggling! Come back with us!”

Mu Tongrui was scared, “No... no... I won't go back with you! Fu Xiao and Yao Zhiyue are going to kill

my child! Don't come any nearer!”

Mu Tongrui stepped back... and slipped!

“Ah——!”

Mu Tongrui fell into the sea!

In the dark night, a familiar male voice could be heard——

“Rui!”
